I have been trying to find the best possible pc to build myself to replace my current one. My intentions are to max out most, if not all games at 1440p minimum 60fps in Multiplayer. Any help would be much appreciated.

To name a few games:
Battlefield 4
Evolve
Middle Earth: Shador of Mordor
Call of Duty Advanced Warfare

Components i need help to pick (following items are what should be included in budget):
CPU - Motherboard - PSU - RAM - GPU - Pc Case


Components/Peripherals i already have (Do not Include these items in £1500 Budget):
Windows 7 Professional
Samsung 500gb 850 EVO ssd (already purchased)
keyboard
mouse
monitor
speakers

yes, i will be building the PC myself. I have purchased windows 7 Professional already and i already have keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers etc

I will edit my post to make it clearer, thanks
 
You're the first person to reply and you have already made me change my mind/ think about other components I didn't think possible.

A GTX Titan would be awesome if I could include that, but are there any other graphics cards that offer good performance for maxing settings on games?

I like the mobo and cpu bundle option, seem like a good choice price/ performance wise, so either of those options you provided I would go for, preferably Asus

Also is 8gb enough ram for now? what would be a good option if I was to choose 16gb ram?

Forgot to mention I have 2x1tb hard drives (2tb total) as well as my 500gb ssdentioned in post, so I will not need any more hard drives

Thanks stulid for help!!
 
ok thanks, it does seem like a good card that 295x2 for price.

I cant decide on which motherboard, as they are all much the same, any help?

Might go down to an i5 cpu to save some money. Was thinking about this motherboard? although i dont know if its overkill as it seems to be same spec as gigabyte ones that are in the cpu/mobo bundle. any advice on brand?

hi, just about to say.. compared the asus pro gamer one to the others and its seems to be the best option, but u beat me to it.

my only question with the cpu, what is the oem version, is it just no cooler and less warranty? its not a refurb or anything?
 
ok i didnt know that. just ordered:

asus z97 pro gamer and i7 4790k cpu bundle
16gb hyper x 2400 mhz ram
evga superflower g2 850w psu
red braided cables

still cant decide on gpu, would like the titan but price/performance puts me off, its a lot of money for a gpu, although im sure worth it. read that the titan is expensive in the UK compared to america (dollars). so hopefully it might come down in price. i would buy two 970 sli if they was 8gb, hopefully nvidia do that or wait wait 980 ti 8gb.

thanks for your help stulid, appreciate it
